A degree might give you a higher level of confidence etc.. 

This implies that if I had confidence of better than normal appreciation or ways to add value, I would purchase a negative cash flow property.  

Once you complete your first project, you'll gain experience and confidence!

I recently purchased a Short Term rental property and plan to self manage the property.

I have a good team helping me, I have a good system, I’m confident in my ability to talk to sellers because I’m a real estate agent and just am nervous that I should be trying to reach more people.

I actually used to live in the area and self-managed all my properties while I was there.

If you still have another 3 weeks of repairs or are very confident of the move in date it might be okay to list.  

@Michael Baum @Collin Hays do you self manage? 

I am pretty confident Civista Bank can get this done.

Are you self-employed?
